Am I Overlooking Someone Great While Looking For Someone Else

I met this guy almost one year ago at a club... I wasn't attracted to him but he just wouldn't go away.  So I finally allowed him to buy me a drink and I sat down to talk with him.  I found out he was a very intelligent guy and I decided to give him a try.  We ended up going out for breakfast after the club and he tried to take me to his house for sex... When I refused he was a perfect gentleman and thanked me for a nice evening.

We went out several more times... and to be honest the chemistry for me just wasn't there. Most times he would test the waters to see if I would sleep with him. But when I refused he would continue being the perfect gentleman.  After two and a half month's, several dates... a number of trips to his home and alot of drinks that day.  I finally gave in and slept with him.  To be honest he was nothing to write home about! 

So at that point I began to distance myself from him ignore his calls for 2 & 3 weeks at a time... sometimes longer than that.  He would let up calling then start up calling, texting etc.  I have never let him come to my home so he can't drop by.  If I was bored I would go out with him and enjoy his conversation (but still no chemistry).  

I have even left him in the middle of a date... thinking that would run him away. But he still continued to call, text and leave messages.  Over the months we slept together maybe another 4 times.... then he began to question why I disappeared and wondered when I would allow him to come to my home.

From the beginning he has always stressed that he desired to be in a committted relationship and didn't really like the dating scene.  I would just listen and not comment when we got to that point.  

During our second to last date he told me he didn't feel comfortable with me any longer... he accussed me of being in a relationship with someone else.  I laughed it off and to be honest didn't really care what he thought because I wasn't in a relationship but I was still looking.  After that statement I decided not to answer any of his calls so I didn't answer any of his calls or texts and didn't answer blocked calls.

I thought he would eventually get the message.... WRONG he called me from a friends house and I answered the phone.  He asked why I was avoiding him and told me he missed me and wanted to be friends if nothing else.  So I agreed to be friends.  A couple of days later he invited me over and cooked dinner for me.  

During his conversation he kept saying jow much really missed me, he wanted to get much closer to me, how he wanted to see meet least two to three times a week (a lot for him he works 60 -70 hour weeks), he wanted to get to meet my children,  he wanted to have an exclusive relationship with only me and how he wanted to marry me!  You could have knocked me over with a feather!!!!! 

Then he suggested we begin being intimate without a condom.... which we have NEVER done! By both of our choices. I have never looked at him in that manner and my friends are telling me maybe I should.  I am just not sure if he is chasing me so agressively for the thrill of the game OR if he is truly interested because he has been persistent for almost a year.
